Journal Title：Foundations Of Physics

The conceptual foundations of physics have been under constant revision from the outset, and remain so today. Discussion of foundational issues has always been a major source of progress in science, on a par with empirical knowledge and mathematics. Examples include the debates on the nature of space and time involving Newton and later Einstein; on the nature of heat and of energy; on irreversibility and probability due to Boltzmann; on the nature of matter and observation measurement during the early days of quantum theory; on the meaning of renormalisation, and many others.

Today, insightful reflection on the conceptual structure utilised in our efforts to understand the physical world is of particular value, given the serious unsolved problems that are likely to demand, once again, modifications of the grammar of our scientific description of the physical world. The quantum properties of gravity, the nature of measurement in quantum mechanics, the primary source of irreversibility, the role of information in physics – all these are examples of questions about which science is still confused and whose solution may well demand more than skilled mathematics and new experiments.

Foundations of Physics is a privileged forum for discussing such foundational issues, open to physicists, cosmologists, philosophers and mathematicians. It is devoted to the conceptual bases of the fundamental theories of physics and cosmology, to their logical, methodological, and philosophical premises.

The journal welcomes papers on issues such as the foundations of special and general relativity, quantum theory, classical and quantum field theory, quantum gravity, unified theories, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, cosmology, and similar.

物理學(xué)的概念基礎(chǔ)從一開(kāi)始就不斷被修訂，至今仍是如此?；A(chǔ)問(wèn)題的討論一直是科學(xué)進(jìn)步的主要源泉，與經(jīng)驗(yàn)知識(shí)和數(shù)學(xué)不相上下。例子包括牛頓和后來(lái)的愛(ài)因斯坦關(guān)于空間和時(shí)間的性質(zhì)的辯論；關(guān)于熱和能量的性質(zhì)的辯論；關(guān)于玻爾茲曼的不可逆性和概率的辯論；關(guān)于量子理論早期物質(zhì)和觀察測(cè)量的性質(zhì)的辯論；關(guān)于重正化的意義的辯論，等等。

今天，對(duì)我們理解物理世界所用的概念結(jié)構(gòu)的深刻反思具有特別的價(jià)值，因?yàn)閲?yán)重的未解決問(wèn)題可能再次要求我們對(duì)物理世界的科學(xué)描述語(yǔ)法進(jìn)行修改。引力的量子特性、量子力學(xué)中的測(cè)量性質(zhì)、不可逆性的主要來(lái)源、信息在物理學(xué)中的作用——所有這些都是科學(xué)界仍然困惑的問(wèn)題的例子，這些問(wèn)題的解決可能需要的不僅僅是熟練的數(shù)學(xué)和新的實(shí)驗(yàn)。

《物理學(xué)基礎(chǔ)》是一個(gè)討論這些基礎(chǔ)問(wèn)題的特權(quán)論壇，向物理學(xué)家、宇宙學(xué)家、哲學(xué)家和數(shù)學(xué)家開(kāi)放。它致力于物理學(xué)和宇宙學(xué)基本理論的概念基礎(chǔ)，以及它們的邏輯、方法論和哲學(xué)前提。

該期刊歡迎關(guān)于狹義和廣義相對(duì)論的基礎(chǔ)、量子理論、經(jīng)典和量子場(chǎng)論、量子引力、統(tǒng)一理論、熱力學(xué)、統(tǒng)計(jì)力學(xué)、宇宙學(xué)等問(wèn)題的論文。

Foundations Of Physics創(chuàng)刊于1970年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋物理 - 物理：綜合全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專(zhuān)業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.2，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
